Crawford led a Clippers bench that scored all 32 points for Los Angeles in
the fourth quarter, while Blake Griffin totaled 24 points, eight rebounds
and a career-best four steals in the team's fifth straight win.

"Our bench is very unique, when they come in its like another group of
starters," said Paul. "We have to just come out and work on being better."

Michael Beasley scored a team-high 21 points off the bench for the Suns, who
dropped their sixth straight game and fifth in a row on the road.

"They made a run in the fourth quarter and we need to take care of the ball,"
said Suns coach Alvin Gentry. "We have to execute better, they have a well-
balanced team. Chris Paul has made a world of difference for them."

Shannon Brown scored 19 and Luis Scola followed with 18 points and 10 boards.
Goran Dragic, who entered the game leading the Suns in scoring, didn't make
his first field goal until late in the fourth quarter. He finished with eight
points and five assists for the game.

The Suns maintained a 31-28 advantage going into the second quarter and held
the lead until a pair of free throws by DeAndre Jordan put the Clippers on top
45-44 with 4:59 left in the quarter.

Beasley, who scored 13 in the stanza, brought the Suns even with a 3-pointer
shortly after, but a 10-3 Clippers surge put Los Angeles ahead by seven before
closing out the half with a 63-57 edge.

After Paul got in the lane for a layup, Brown buried a triple and then
connected on a fadeaway jumper before back-to-back 3-pointers from Jared
Dudley and Markieff Morris closed the gap to one with 4:09 left in the third.

The Suns took a 77-76 lead following a pair of free throws from Morris, but a
Crawford jumper and a Caron Butler triple put the Clippers back in front for
good and they carried an 85-83 advantage into the final period.

Los Angeles began to run away with it from there, building a 15-point lead
quickly thanks to 17-4 run to start the period. Crawford scored 11 points
during the stretch, as his running layup to cap the surge gave the Clippers a
comfortable 102-87 lead.

The margin swelled to as many as 18 before the final buzzer.
